Look what I caught!!

Went to Juanita Beach which is a local park near Lake Washington in Seattle. It was pretty dead but this heron landed real close to me and went fishing. It looked right, then left and flew off to eat the fish in peace.

nice series James. it really shows how effective these birds are at feeding time (24/7)
The frog shot is good also.

Nice shots James! Bet the frog was the happiest of all not to become lunch that time!

Good series James. I love the way that you caught him with the fish in his beak.

Thanks Gale. Yeah a year ago I could not have imagined needing a 500. Then I got hooked on shooting birds and you know what happens. Oh well, now I need to upgrade the D100.

Nice shots, James! Great to see what the 500 will do with these guys.
